Interior Castle (Paperback)
A cornerstone book on mystical theology, Interior Castle describes the seven stages of union with God. Using everyday language to explain difficult theological concepts, Teresa of Avila compares the contemplative life to a castle with seven chambers. Tracing the passage of the soul through each successive chamber, she draws a powerful picture of the path toward spiritual perfection. It is the most sublime and mature of Teresa's works, offering profound and inspiring reflections on such subjects as self-knowledge, humility, detachment, and suffering.
One of the most celebrated works on mystical theology in existence, as timely today as when St. Teresa of Avila wrote it centuries ago, this is a treasury of unforgettable maxims on self-knowledge and fulfillment.
About the Author
Teresa of Avila was born in Spain. She entered the Carmelita Order at the age of 20.
J. M. Cohen, born in London in 1903 and a Cambridge graduate, was the author of many Penguin translations, including versions of Cervantes, Rabelais and Montaigne. For some years he assisted E. V. Rieu in editing the Penguin Classics. He collected the three books of Comic and Curious Verse and anthologies of Latin American and Cuban writing. He frequently visited Spain and made several visits to Mexico, Cuba and other Spanish American countries. With his son Mark he edited the Penguin Dictionary of Quotations and its companion Dictionary of Modern Quotations. J. M. Cohen died in 1989. The Times obituary described him as the translator of the foreign prose classics for our times and one of the last great English men of letters, while the Independent wrote that his influence will be felt for generations to come .

PORTLAND +5 (at Utah)
It will take some time for Memphis to adjust following their huge trade plus they play at OKC on national TV the night before this game. Washington is an improved team with Wall back and they are better on defense than people give them credit for.
As for the Portland game I just see it as winnable for them so I took the points.

This is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/318,788 filed as PCT/GB93/00897 on Apr. 29, 1993, now pending.
This invention is concerned with an absorbent material and method for making same and is especially concerned with absorbent materials suitable for use in medical or hygienic absorbance for the absorption of body fluids, for example in surgical dressings, sanitary products and incontinence products.
There are described in EP-A-0 388 062 various absorbent materials of the type comprising a non-woven fibre sheet having a dense surface layer of fibres at each face of the sheet and, between the surface layers, a relatively low density region which, apart from an initial "tacking" operation, has not been subjected to any substantial needling. More particularly the preferred materials there described each comprise at least a major proportion of hydrophilic fibres, although there is also a passing reference therein to the possibility of producing absorbent material entirely of hydrophobic fibres. The preferred materials described in said specification utilised in particular a mixture of hydrophilic and hydrophobic fibres, the hydrophilic fibres serving to absorb fluids while the hydrophobic fibres provided a "scaffolding" for retaining the structure of the low density region, even under compression. In the case of the wholly hydrophobic fibre material, the fluid is believed to have been effectively "stored" within the structure rather than being absorbed into the fibres themselves.
Although the absorbent materials described in detail in said specification have in practice proved generally satisfactory, nevertheless when fluid has been absorbed by the hydrophilic fibres in the web there arises a tendency in these hydrophilic fibres to collapse, especially under compression, so that although the use of hydrophilic fibres is believed to enhance absorbency, absorbent webs including hydrophilic fibres may tend to collapse and thus have a less than optimum absorbency and may even "wet back" when a load is applied, that is the absorbed fluid may be forced out of the material by the pressure.
It is one of the various objects of the present invention to provide an improved absorbent material in which the disadvantages of currently available materials are mitigated.
It is a further one of the various objects to provide an improved method of producing such materials.
An absorbent material comprising a non-woven fibre sheet having a plurality of relatively distinct layers, said non-woven sheet being arranged to have at each face a surface layer and have a region of said absorbent material therebetween, each surface layer having a higher compactness of fibres compared to the region of said absorbent material therebetween and thus each said surface layer being of a higher density than the region of said absorbent material therebetween, said higher compactness of fibres in each said surface layer being maintained by higher tack entanglement between fibres as compared to said region of said absorbent material therebetween where the substantial majority of fibres remain in a plane parallel of the sheet, said absorbent material being formed from a blend of fibres including a proportion of hydrophobic fibres and a proportion of activated fibrous bonding agent, said hydrophobic fibres and said activated fibrous bonding agent adhering together in a resilient voluminous structure resistant to percussive pressure, said voluminous structure having air spaces between said fibres arranged to hold liquid despite such percussive pressure.
The invention further provides, in another of its several aspects, a method of making an absorbent material comprising forming a non-woven fibre web comprising a blend of fibres including a minor weight of heat-activated bonding agent in fibrous form, subjecting the web to needling at a low punch density with the needles penetrating completely through the web, then subjecting surface regions of the web to needling at a much higher punch density whereby to form a dense surface layer of fibres at each face of the web, and thereafter subjecting the web to heat in such a manner as to activate the bonding agent and cause it to bond to adjacent fibres but without destroying its fibrous structure and without substantially affecting the other fibres of the web and without causing significant shrinkage.
In the material and the method in accordance with the invention set out respectively in the last two preceding paragraphs the bonding agent preferably comprises a hot melt bonding agent. In a preferred embodiment, moreover, the bonding agent is originally (i.e. prior to melting) constituted by one component of a bi-component fibre, preferably of the core/sheath type, in which said one (the sheath) component has a lower softening point than the other (core) component, the latter remaining in fibrous form after heat activation of the one component. However, other suitable bonding agents may be used provided that their fibrous form is retained after bonding; for example a fibre component having a fairly low melting point relative to the other components, e.g. polyethylene or polypropylene single component fibres, may be used but will require careful control of bonding conditions during manufacture to ensure sufficient heating to effect bonding whilst still not destroying their fibrous nature.
Preferably, in carrying out a method in accordance with the invention to produce absorbent materials in accordance with the invention, a light non-woven fibre web is produced continuously by known methods, for example using carding techniques, and the light web so produced is cross-lapped to provide a web with a plurality of layers; preferably the web has between 4 and 40 layers, more preferably between 6 and 20 layers, and most preferably between 8 and 14 layers. The web is then tacked completely through by subjecting the web to a needling operation at a low punch density suitably between 1/2 and 20 per cm.2, preferably between 1 and 8 per cm.2 and most preferably at a punch density of between 2 and 6 per cm.2. Surface regions of the web are thereafter subjected to needling at a much higher punch density, suitably between 100 and 1,000 per cm.2, preferably between 200 and 600 per cm.2 and more preferably between 300 and 500 per cm.2, to form a dense surface layer of fibres at each face of the web. The high density needling may conveniently be arranged to penetrate each surface of the web to no more than 15% of the thickness of the web prior to that needling, for example to a depth of not more than 0.5 mm.
In carrying out a preferred method in accordance with the invention, the fabric is subjected to heat by suitably blowing hot air through the web in sufficient volume and for a sufficient period of time to soften the bonding agent, e.g. a sheath component where a bi-component core/sheath fibre is used, without having any substantial effect on the remainder of the fibres in the web and without causing any significant shrinkage of the web. It is important that the air flow does not collapse the web or reduce its thickness to any significant degree. In a preferred embodiment, using a bi-component fibre of the core/sheath type, where the core component has a softening point of about 220� C. and the sheath a softening point of about 100� C., it has been found sufficient to subject the web to a flow of air at about 175� C. for a period of about 1 minute. If desired, after the hot air treatment the web may be subjected to surface rolling suitably carried out at an elevated temperature similar to that of the hot air, conveniently by passing the web between rolls set at a fixed gap; such gap would preferably be fixed to be not less than 70% of one thickness of the web prior to passing through the gap. Such hot rolling will tend to provide an absorbent material with a relatively smooth and lint-free surface which is important in some applications. Cold rolling of the web, using a fixed gap may, however, be useful in some circumstances as this tends to lead to more rapid setting of a hot-melt component which may lead to a somewhat stronger but less absorbent product.
In the manufacture of material in accordance with the invention, preferably the web is formed from a blend of coarse and fine deciTex fibres, the coarse deciTex fibres suitably having a deciTex between 5 and 15, preferably between 5 and 7 deciTex, and the fine deciTex fibre suitably being less than 3 deciTex. The fibres of the bonding agent are preferably fine fibres. The coarse fibres suitably comprise 5 to 40% of the blend, preferably 10 to 30% of the blend and more preferably 15 to 25% of the blend by weight, the balance being fine fibres. In one preferred material the fibre blend suitably includes 2 to 50% of fine bi-component fibre of the core/ sheath type in which the sheath has a lower softening point than the core, preferably 3 to 20% and more preferably 5 to 10% by weight. In such blend, furthermore, three fibres are used, preferably all being polyester fibres, namely a major proportion of a fine single component polyester fibre providing a basic structure of the fabric, a major proportion of the remainder of the fibre being a coarse single component polyester fibre and the balance of the fibre being a fine bi-component polyester fibre of the type referred to.
Appropriate fibre lengths must also be selected and these will depend to some extent on the processing techniques to be utilised. Fibre lengths between 20 mm. and 120 mm. may be suitable, preferably between 25 mm. and 90 mm. and more preferably between 30 mm. and 70 mm.
In a preferred method in accordance with the invention the web weight before subjecting the web to heat is between 70 and 1,000 grammes per square metre, preferably between 80 and 600 grammes per square metre and more preferably between 100 and 400 grammes per square metre. When subjecting the web to heat treatment the change in area of the web is suitably no more than plus or minus 10%, preferably no more than plus or minus 5% and most preferably 0%. The reduction in thickness of the web after heat treatment (and rolling where used) is preferably between 0 and 40% and more preferably between 5 and 20%.
Although materials containing hydrophilic fibres exhibit improved absorbency and strength when produced by a method in accordance with the present invention, it is preferable that the materials in accordance with the invention are constituted wholly by hydrophobic fibres, more particularly fibres which are inherently hydrophobic throughout. Fibres which have been rendered hydrophobic by applying a surface coating are generally less suitable, especially where the coating tends to interfere with bonding.
In another aspect the invention may be considered to provide an absorbent material comprising a non-woven fibre sheet substantially of hydrophobic fibres, the sheet having a dense surface layer of fibres at each face of the sheet and, between the surface layers, a relatively lower density region in which a substantial majority of the fibres extend generally in the plane of the sheet and a small number of fibres extend in a direction generally transverse to the plane of the sheet, the transversely extending fibres having been substantially produced by needle punching at a low punch density and the surface layers having been formed by needle punching at a high punch density.
There now follows a detailed description to be read with reference to the accompanying drawing of an absorbent sheet material embodying the invention and a method of making same, itself embodying the invention in its method aspects. It will be realised that this material and method have been selected for description to illustrate the invention by way of example.
The accompanying drawing is a diagrammatic view in section of a portion of an absorbent material embodying the invention.
The illustrative material comprises a non-woven sheet having a dense surface layer (10) of fibres at each surface and, between the surface layers (10), a relatively lower density region in which a substantial majority of the fibres extend generally in the plane of the sheet. This lower density region (12) comprises a plurality of layers (14) formed by cross-lapping as hereinafter described. A small number of fibres (16) extend in a direction generally transverse to the plane of the sheet, the transversely extending fibres (16) having been produced, in the manufacture of the illustrative absorbent material, by needle punching at a relatively low punch density and the relatively dense surface layers (10) having been formed by needle punching at a higher punch density. The fibres of the absorbent material are bonded together to some extent by a hot melt bonding material originating as a sheath component of a core/sheath type bi-component fibre, the core component remaining in fibrous form in the finished sheet. Methods of manufacturing the illustrative absorbent material referred to above are set out in the following examples.
The following blend of three fibres was used:
76% by weight 1.7 dTex hydrophobic polyester. This fine dTex fibre provides the basic structure of the fabric, giving rise to a large number of interstices. It also provides loft and softness to handle. The particular fibre used was Trevira type 290, which has a melt temperature of 230� C.
19% by weight 5.0 dTex hydrophobic polyester. This coarse dTex fibre is arranged within the absorbent material to provide scaffolding, i.e. to act as a structural element which will tend to oppose any mechanical forces acting on the fabric. The particular fibre used was also Trevira type 290.
5% by weight Fine dTex (about 2.2 dTex) bi-component core/ sheath polyester, the melt temperature of the core being about 220� C. and of the sheath about 120� C. The particular fibre used was Trevira type 252.
Alternatively, between 20-30% of the material blend may be a hydrophilic fibre such as viscose with appropriate scale reduction in the constituent fibre percentages outlined above.
These fibres were blended in the stated proportions prior to being processed through high-efficiency cards to produce an open web of about 12 grammes per square metre. This resultant web was then cross-lapped to give a web with 11 laps (layers).
The web formed by cross-lapping these layers was then tacked completely through using a needle punch density of approximately 4/cm.2. High efficiency 40 gauge tacking needles were used. This reduced the loft of the web considerably and provided fibres in the direction generally transverse to the plane of the web which held the layers together.
The resultant tacked web was then needled through two looms, in such a way that the needle barbs had a significant densifying effect only at the surfaces of the webs, i.e. low needle penetrations were used. High efficiency 40 gauge needles were used throughout. Loom 1 provided a needle punch density, on the top surface only, of 120/cm.2. Loom 2 provided a needle punch density, on both top and bottom surfaces, of 180/cm.2. The penetration for the lower needles used on loom 2 was slightly greater than the top needle penetration, to compensate for the top surface needling on loom 1. The intention was to provide a web with top and bottom surfaces substantially equally densified. The web at this stage had a weight of about 170 grammes per square metre and a loft of around 4 mm.
The web was then through-air bonded before being very lightly surface-rolled. The through-air bonding was carried out at 175� C. with an air flow of 132 m/min and a dwell time of 1 min. This air flow was such that the bi-component fibre rapidly reached the melt temperature of its sheath component without causing significant shrinkage and without collapsing the web or reducing its thickness significantly. The area change through the heat treatment process was about +4%. The subsequent surface rolling was carried out at 175� C. using heated rolls set 3 mm. apart. After rolling the fabric was rapidly cooled by drawing cold air through the web. The fabric at this stage had a weight of 165 grammes per square metre and an unconstrained thickness of around 3.5 mm.
The finished fabric had the following apparent properties (initial measurements):
______________________________________Typical free absorbency (no load) 2050% 20.5 g/gAbsorbency under load (135 g/100 cm.2) 1600% 16 g/gAbsorbency under load (285 g/100 cm.2) 1500% 15 g/gWeight 165 gsm Thickness 3.5 mm.______________________________________
The illustrative absorbent material of a thickness as set out in this Example I has good drape and handle.
It is thought that between the layers (14) air spaces or interstices (18) are created and exist in order to contribute to the level of absorbency volume of the material through containment rather than fibre absorption: it is important in processing to ensure that the sheet material is not caused to collapse.
Example I was repeated, as closely as possible, except that a different 1.7 dTex polyester fibre was used. This fibre was sourced from Tuntex (Thailand). This constitutes 76% of the fibre blend. It was found that the resultant fabric and properties were much the same as Example I above.
This Example illustrates the use of a melt fibre that is not bi-component in structure. In this case an amorphous thermoformable fibre, viz. polypropylene, was used. Similar results could be obtained using other melt fibres, e.g. polyethylene and low melting point polyester.
The following blend of fibres was used:
60% by weight 1.7 dTex polyester of the Trevira type T290
20% by weight 5.0 dTex polyester, also of the Trevira T290 type
20% by weight 2.8 dTex polypropylene. This fibre constitutes the fusible fibre of the structure and has a melt temperature in the order of 160� C. The particular fibre used was Moplefan type CS2.
Alternatively, between 20-30% of the material blend may be hydrophilic fibre such as viscose with appropriate scale reduction in the constituent fibre percentages outlined below.
As with Examples I and II, these fibres were blended in the stated proportions prior to being processed through high-efficiency cards and the resultant web was cross-lapped. Tacking then took place as previously described using 40 gauge tacking needles. Thereafter the tacked web was needled in a first loom to a penetration, from top and bottom, of 8 mm. and with a punch density of 100/cm.2 to give structure and strength to the material, and thereafter in Loom 2 needling took place to a penetration of 4.8 mm. (top) and 6.2 mm. (bottom) with a punch density of 300/cm.2 thus to provide the denser surface layers. At this stage the web had a weight of about 170 gsm and a loft of 2.4 mm.
As in Examples I and II, the web was then through-air bonded, at a temperature of 180� C. and a dwell time of 1 minute; in this case, however, no surface-rolling took place. The throughput of air was such that the polypropylene fibres melted at least superficially to enable them to flow so that they bonded with adjacent fibres and, upon cooling, effectively locked them in position, but without collapsing the web during such heating or reducing substantially its thickness by shrinkage. After heating, the web was shock-cooled by drawing cold air therethrough. The finished product had a weight of 180 gsm and an unconstrained thickness (loft) of about 2.2 mm., with good tensile strength and a free absorbency (no load) in the order of 1200% (12 g/g).
Example I was repeated, but omitting the bi-component polyester from the blend. The blend used 80% 1.7 dTex polyester and 20% 5.0 dTex polyester. The resultant fabric, although still absorbent, showed a much reduced absorbency and physical strength.
In the case of the materials in accordance with the invention made as described in Examples I, II and III above, it has been found that despite the weakly bound nature of the material as a whole, the bonding of the fibres resists the tendency of the structure to collapse when wetted and thus reduces any tendency to "wet back". In the particular Examples, moreover, despite the hydrophobic nature of the fibres used, the absorbing properties are surprisingly good. Absorbency and retentivity are of a level normally associated with hydrophilic fabrics, e.g. those made with significant quantities of rayon or cotton which, however, as mentioned above, can be subject to wet collapse. As can be seen from the test results above, the illustrative absorbent material performs very satisfactorily when the wet material is subjected to loads.
Where the absorbent material is made entirely of hydrophobic fibres, furthermore, the surfaces thereof feel surprisingly dry even when a considerable amount of fluid is retained within the material: arises from the increased surface density of the fabric and from the tendency to preferentially wick fluid into the low density core region away from the surfaces. It is common practice in other absorbent materials to apply a separate non-woven fabric to provide such a "stay-dry" effect: this separate material may be eliminated in the case of the illustrative absorbent materials. Furthermore, by appropriate choice of needle punching density and so entanglement in the surface layers and in the low density region of the material, it is possible to take advantage of the surface tension within the liquid to further enhance wicking to the low density core region and inhibit back-flow of such liquid. Such surface tension within the air spaces (8) is arranged to promote lateral flow of the liquid in the plane of the low density core region rather than vertically back through the surface layers.
The surfaces of the surface layers (10) of the illustrative absorbent materials are relatively smooth and lint-free which are distinct advantages for fabrics for use in surgical and catamenial applications. Furthermore the illustrative materials provide good mechanical cushioning and resilience which may improve comfort in some products. It is believed that the bonding provided contributes to the increase in strength and resiliency as well as the relatively smooth surface.
An additional advantage of the illustrative absorbent materials where made entirely of hydrophobic fibres, arises in that the cost of such fibres tends to be noticeably cheaper than corresponding hydrophilic fibres, e.g. cotton and rayon, and such fibres are often easier to process.
Furthermore, absorption of fluids as occurs into hydrophilic fibres may be disadvantageous for some products, e.g. surgical, catamenial or incontinence products intended to be reused. Where materials including hydrophilic fibres are included in re-usable absorbent products which are intended to be washed before re-use, the fibres themselves absorb a certain amount of material and this material is not entirely removed from the hydrophilic fibres by washing. This can lead to residual odour and the possibility of cross-infection. Hydrophobic fibres cannot absorb aqueous, e.g. body, fluids and so washing the absorbent material is able to remove all or substantially all of the absorbed materials because the absorbed materials are absorbed purely interstitially.
Thus, in the present invention the absorbed liquid is mechanically retained rather than absorbed by chemical and/or physical bonding to hydrophilic fibres. Such non-invasive absorption of liquid obviously extends the useful life of any absorbent products made from the material. However, in the present invention, by combination of surface and low density core region layers the potential problems of compressive or squeeze release of such liquid is substantially reduced. As a consequence, a liquid absorbent material using mechanical liquid retainment is provided which is accepted for situations such as hospital bed pads where compressive or percussive forces may be present. Such containment of liquid in combination with some hydrophilic fibres ensures that the absorption quotient, i.e. weight absorbed compared to weight of absorbed material, is significantly increased.
By selective needle tacking in a manufacturing stage of production of the absorbent material, it is possible to create areas or pillars of greater entanglement through the depth of the material. Thus, by combination of the hydrophobic fibre scaffold resilience of the present invention and positioning of these areas/pillars of higher entanglement it is possible to provide structural features in the absorbent material. These structural features include, for example;
1. Channels which in combination with the application of alternating compressive force such as movement of a patient upon the material, may allow a pumping action pushing the liquid to the periphery of the material;
2. Edge sealing for the absorbent material which inhibits the lateral flow of the absorbed liquid beyond that edge,
3. Provision of discreet zones in the material which contain absorbed liquid within that zone and prevents further lateral flow of the absorbed liquid beyond the designated zone and so prevents sloshing.
These areas or pillars of increased fibre entanglement are achieved by variation of the density of needles in the tacking board of the needle tacking loom. It will be appreciated needles which are 1 cm. apart make roughly twice as many needle entanglements as compared to needles which are 2 cm. apart.

NEW YORK -- There is something quintessentially American about Ron Washington, the Texas Rangers' manager, as he sits in the visiting manager's office at Yankee Stadium, fortified by a desktop computer screen to his left, scouting reports and a lineup card to his right, a plastic blue cigarette lighter atop a red-and-white box of Winstons near his hands.
He at once is frustrated that the changing America is messing with one of his crippling vices -- "There're not too many more places where you can smoke anymore," he says before flashing a defiant smile, "but I still find my ways" -- and at the same time, he is living proof that yesterday's virtues of persistence, work ethic and company loyalty can still be rewarded. Washington, who seemed destined never to elevate higher than "trusted lieutenant," was a fundamentals-first coach for years before managing his first big league game weeks before his 55th birthday in 2007.
These are interesting times for the Rangers, a time when the team's and the manager's success should be coalescing in beautiful vindication but instead is marked by a volatile undertow: The Rangers are in first place in the American League West. From a team that has finished .500 or better just once over the last decade, in recent weeks they have either owned or been a day away from the best record in the American League.
Texas is playing a tough, resilient game that each day reflects the gritty defensive passions of its manager and the uncompromising pitching imperatives of its famous club president. After Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Yankees -- which came a day after a dangerous New York-Boston road trip started with a 12-3 loss to New York -- Texas was 10 games better than a year before and 16 games better than in Washington's first season.
Yet for each positive, Washington is managing without a net, baseball's most ferocious lame duck. He does not have a contract after this season, and was very nearly fired last season by the team president -- one Mr. Nolan Ryan -- after the Rangers started the season woefully at 7-16. Even going 72-67 the rest of the way did not convince Ryan that Washington merited security.
Instead, the Rangers announced they would not yet exercise Washington's option to manage in 2010, saying it was not a top club priority, a sentiment that particularly stung because months earlier during the offseason, Ryan further isolated Washington by forcing him to fire his bench coach -- longtime friend and mentor Art Howe, for whom Washington had been a coach in Oakland -- and replace him with a Ryan ally, Jackie Moore. For the new team pitching coach, Washington wanted Rick Peterson, with whom he coached in Oakland. Ryan instead hired Mike Maddux.
If Washington has the confidence of Ryan, it is the best-kept secret in Dallas since "Who Shot J.R.?" kept the country in television suspense during the summer and fall of 1980.
So Washington simultaneously represents two universal archetypes of baseball and of corporate America, one in which we take pride, the other of which we spend our lives trying to avoid. He at once is the success story who through professional diligence one day got the top job and at the same time is the guy in Ryan's bull's-eye, the one who is vulnerable because the new boss didn't hire him and, despite obvious improvements, isn't sure that he wants him.
"To be honest, I don't think about the contract. I really don't," he said. "What we do on the field is going to determine my contract situation more than anything I can do worrying about it. I think last year maybe I managed afraid at times trying to think about this or affecting that. But I look at these guys now, and you can see the little messages are making a difference. They are taking pride in closing out games, in not giving things to other teams.
"People said last year, 'Washington is supposed to be some kind of defensive guru, so how come these guys can't catch the ball?' It doesn't work that way. This is a mindset. Mindsets have to be developed. But you're starting to see it now."
Few teams in baseball find themselves caught in as many topical and fractious cultural crosscurrents as the Rangers. In 2005, the Rangers joined baseball's avant-garde, hiring 28-year-old, Ivy League-educated Jon Daniels as general manager. Daniels had never played the game, was not a baseball insider, and represented another step in the hypermodern, post-"Moneyball" remaking of the baseball front office. Yet the hiring of Ryan by owner Tom Hicks rang of old-school cronyism. Despite his Hall of Fame career, Ryan had never served in any official decision-making front office capacity and Hicks had given him total control over the direction of the franchise, both on the business side and baseball operations.
The Rangers are young and unproven, eschewing the old big-spending Hicks days in favor of player development. A third of the Rangers' 25-man roster were born after 1984, and yet Daniels chose Washington, a throwback first-time manager whose personality and managing sensibilities are rooted in the tough-love, tough-talk days when baseball was more sport and less corporate. Washington is a child of the ultra-competitive, pre-free-agency Dodgers system of the 1970s, in which the talent was so fierce, the team control so great that only the very best, most polished players made it to the big leagues. He played under disciplinarians -- Tommy Lasorda in the minors and majors, Tom Kelly with Minnesota -- and made his bones as a coach by tirelessly teaching infield fundamentals to the rising stars of the Oakland system, namely third baseman Eric Chavez and shortstop Miguel Tejada.
To be honest, I don't think about the contract. I really don't. What we do on the field is going to determine my contract situation more than anything I can do worrying about it.
"-- Ron Washington
One of the reasons Washington had not often been considered "manager material" was because of his impolitic, independent characteristics. Washington was thought of in some circles to be, in the words of one observer, the "best baseball man who will never get the chance to be a manager." He was too honest, not corporate enough, too demanding for today's generation of player.
Daniels took a gamble that the fierce and demanding Washington could connect with the current player unused to being approached with straight, unvarnished opinion, expecting accountability, the way it used to be.
At worst, Washington can appear broken by today's rules, and it is here where players understand baseball's new corporate motif and ways to manipulate it. It is here where Washington feels lost around a generation whose priorities seem to him more complex than playing the game to play it well. Players don't often communicate the way they once did. Today, many follow the corporate approach, going through white-collar channels by complaining to their agent, who in turn talks to the front office and then, by the most circuitous route, the grievance gets back to the manager.
In a real sense, Washington longs for the romantic old days of heat and respect, like the time earlier this season when he demanded during a game that anyone who took issue with him speak directly to him. But those days are gone, like the days when managers had final say over personnel decisions.
"I said it when I got here, and I say it today: My door is always open. Always," Washington said. "And you don't have to come in here and be politically correct. You can kick in the [expletive] door and ask me what the [expletive] I was thinking when I did this or that. I have no problem with that. And if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. And I'll take that. But if I'm right, you're going to sit your [expletive] down and to listen to me for awhile. That type of talk is yesterday."
Take, for example, a four-game series in April against Baltimore in which the Rangers took three of four games from the Orioles but the prized shortstop, 20-year-old Elvis Andrus, seemed to lack focus defensively, a cardinal sin to Washington.
"I told him, 'You think because they're no errors on the board you played a good game, but there are errors that show up in the box score and errors that don't,'" Washington said. "Everybody else can have all the other stuff, what you're hitting and the major league lifestyle, but if you don't start concentrating and catching the ball, you're going to have to deal with my black [expletive]. Because we got No. 13 [Omar Vizquel] three-time All-Star, 11 Gold Gloves. You keep [expletive] up, and I guarantee you, you will be a seven-inning player.
"You may think I don't like you. You may think I'm on you because I don't like you," Washington told Andrus. "That's not it. I'm on you because I love you, because of what you can be. You can hit .300 and all that, but if you don't catch the [expletive] ball, I'm going to be on you again."
That is vintage Washington, but he is the same person who broke down and cried when Chavez, after thousands of ground balls and much abuse, gave Washington one of his Gold Gloves with a note that read, "Not without you, Wash."
Message received, Washington now speaks of Andrus as "special."
"He's ahead of where Miguel was," Washington said. "He's very intelligent. You don't have to tell him the same things twice. He learns. He studies. He wants to be a good player."
And perhaps in an odd sense, the various creative tensions rooted in each group have spurred the inspired performances that have defined the Rangers' impressive start.
"He said all those things. He got on me," Andrus recalls. "In Toronto, I made errors, and he was the first one to say, 'Hey, kid, those things are going to happen. Stay positive.' But he wants you to be good. It meant a lot to me that in the offseason he came down to our complex in the Dominican Republic. This is the manager who did that. That tells you how much he wants from you."
This year, Washington cannot talk enough about his veterans, particularly third baseman Michael Young, a perennial 200-hit player who was asked in the offseason to change positions to make room for Andrus. Washington calls Young the true leader of the club, the player whose image in which the team is molded. "I love his mental toughness," Washington says. "There's nothing about him that you worry about. He is the guy on this club, first and foremost. Nothing he can't handle."
He talks about Andruw Jones, who is reviving his career with Texas after falling from the perch of the elite over the past few seasons. He talks of pitcher Kevin Millwood and center fielder Marlon Byrd as the reason this year's team has excellent "checks and balances. These guys won't let the younger guys fall back."
"He showed me respect," Jones said. "We talked in the offseason on the phone. He knew I'd been a winner, and he made me feel welcome. Wash is pretty straight-up. 'Go out and get the job done.' He's a very positive guy."
And Mike Maddux, Washington says, has been a "difference-maker" as pitching coach. "He has given me more confidence in that part of the job. His professionalism has been invaluable. He's given the pitchers someone they know will reinforce them positively, make them believe."
And yet, Washington does not know whether anything he does will be enough to save his job. He does not know if the decision to remove him or retain him has already been made. He does not know whether winning -- or the Rangers' making the playoffs for the first time since 1999 -- can save his job.
"To be perfectly honest, I'm grateful. But I'm not scared," he said. "You can see the changes in this club, and if it is not good enough, I can say I did my best. I can say that I tried to prepare these guys to play, that you may not be the best team in the league, but you can be the best team on the field that day. I love the game, and I can always teach. I came into this situation looking for a job, and I can leave it doing the same. I've been there before. I'm comfortable with that. I have to be."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Consumers are giving a modest lift to the economy. They spent more on autos, electronics and building supplies in October to boost retail sales for the fifth straight month.
Stronger economic growth helped calm fears that the economy could slide back into a recession. Still, growth would need to be nearly double the third-quarter rate — consistently — to make a significant dent in unemployment.
The gains provide an encouraging start for the October-December quarter just as separate reports show wholesale prices are flattening and U.S. shoppers are spending more at Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Four Western diamondback rattlesnakes from Albuquerque's zoo are helping with the first clinical trials of venom as a cancer treatment in humans.
Officials say the snakes have been sent to the Kentucky Reptile Zoo, one of four premier venom laboratories in the United States. The snakes' venom will be extracted and sent to France, where the clinical studies are under way.
Snake venom contains hundreds of proteins that affect the human body in various ways.
The proteins can be devastating when combined. In isolation, these proteins can be used to treat health issues from strokes and heart attacks to Alzheimer's disease and cancer.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday promised an extraordinarily thorough springtime review of President Barack Obama's historic health care overhaul — more than five hours of argument, unprecedented in modern times — in time for a likely ruling affecting millions of Americans just before the presidential election.
That ruling, expected before next summer's Independence Day holiday, could determine the fate of Obama's signature domestic achievement, the most far reaching domestic legislation in a generation but a political lightning rod as well. It is vigorously opposed by all of Obama's prospective GOP opponents.
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez has dug into her family's ancestry and uncovered immigration documents that she says suggest her paternal grandparents followed common practices in coming to the United States from Mexico in the early 1900s, contradicting earlier indications they were illegal immigrants.
Martinez, a Republican and the nation's only female Hispanic governor, made headlines this year by acknowledging that her grandparents came to the U.S. without immigration documents. But she said her comments were based on what she has since learned were mischaracterizations of census information by the news media.
Positron Corporation (OTCBB:POSC), a molecular imaging company specializing in the field of nuclear cardiology announced today that on Friday Nov. 11, Positron and Manhattan Isotope Technology LLC. (MIT LLC) entered into a binding Letter of Intent to acquire MIT LLC. The transaction will close January 2, 2012 upon execution of final transaction documents.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A 2-year-old is in critical condition after police say her Albuquerque father slashed her throat.
Police said 26-year-old Chee Livingston stabbed the young girl and the girl's mother, Blanche Johnson, who tried to stop him early Monday.
Police said an 8-year-old girl in the apartment called police.
The toddler and her mother were taken to University of New Mexico Hospital. Police said both were expected to survive.
Livingston was treated for what appeared to be self-inflicted injuries then booked into jail on child abuse and attempted murder charges.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Demarcus Rogers scored a 2-yard touchdown with 1:15 left Saturday as New Mexico defeated UNLV 21-14 for its first victory of the season.
Rogers' run capped a 34-yard drive set up by Jaymar Latchison's fumble recovery with 1:58 remaining.
"It was a great momentum changer," said New Mexico linebacker Carmen Messina, who caused the fumble by stripping Rebels quarterback Taylor Barnhill.
"Right when we got the ball, I knew the offense was going to punch it in. .I got on the side of him and just ripped it out. I ripped it out too fast because I was trying to recover it myself, but Jaymar got on top of it."

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Forests throughout the Southwest are growing quiet as the season for bugling elk comes to an end. The aspens in the high country and cottonwoods in the valleys are dropping their golden leaves, and snow has dusted mountain tops in Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona.
There's no denying it's fall.
But for land managers, hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts, it was a long time coming in some areas. They had to wait a few extra weeks for summer to loosen its grip.

Really great value. Clean, large rooms. Breakfast every morning. Laundry facility, which was really nice after being on the road for a week. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The only negative was the noise that transferred through the ceiling.

Sister SmileAnne Murphy
A biography of Belgian nun Jeannine Deckers, who became a popular singer in the early 1960s and came out of the closet.
It's said that truth is stranger than fiction, and while the 'Singing Nun' had a very strange life, it borders on dull when stretched to fill a feature film. The story is neatly presented in chronological sequence, and beautifully filmed to capture the era. Unfortunately, this bio-pic sticks to the facts and barely scratches the surface with any deeper connection to the characters. Expect a limited life span from this disappointing tale of a one-hit wonder.
The Boys Are BackAndrew O'Dea
A sports writer struggles with suddenly becoming a single parent in tragic circumstances.
"The Boys are Back" is a tale of fatherhood. A deeply moving meditation on life, death and the importance of family, the heart-wrenching opening sequence sets the tone for the film's sense of purpose that resonates throughout. Far from manufactured, it avoids being conveniently sentimental as it veers between moments of grief and humour. The cinematography is simply stunning, coupled by a beautifully melancholic soundtrack and sublime male-focussed performances that make this a movie for both boys and girls alike.
AmeliaAnne Murphy
A look at the life of legendary American pilot Amelia Earhart, who disappeared while flying over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 in an attempt to make a flight around the world.
"Amelia" is an adventurer's biopic with a central character who broke stereotypes, records, and hearts, while viewing borders as horizons. This well told story reflects all of that, and will inspire dreams bigger than the sky. The cinematography is fabulous, whether the landscape is seen looking down from a flying altitude or viewed gazing upward from the ground. The movie soars with Amelia in the pilot's seat.
The Brothers BloomAndrew O'Dea
The Brothers Bloom are the best con men in the world, swindling millionaires with complex scenarios of lust and intrigue.
"The Brothers Bloom" is an offbeat, eccentric story. The unique approach to story-telling is utterly refreshing as it blends moments of genuine romance, intrigue and comedy which are complemented by a superb, mostly orchestral score. At times it becomes a little self-aware, but for the most part is buoyed by host of glorious performances that sustain an engagingly quirky and whimsical style. A pleasantly charming film that blooms then blossoms.
Capitalism: A Love StoryAnthony Macali
An examination into disastrous impact of corporate dominance on the everyday lives of Americans.
"Capitalism: A Love Story" is a compelling perspective of America's social system, often highlighting its evil... at times literally. The greed driving some institutions is sickening (and legal), as the film covers the history of the American government's economic reform that perpetrated the great financial crisis. Amongst the criticism and hard facts are some genuine heart-felt moments, which work well to destroy any notions of opportunistic America, and inspire the lower and middle classes to fight those controlling all the money and the world.
- Genre » Documentary Drama
- Release » Limited 05 Nov 2009
The Time Traveller's WifeAnne Murphy
A romantic drama about a Chicago librarian with a gene that causes him to involuntarily time travel, and the complications it creates for his marriage.
"The Time Traveller's Wife" has an imaginative storyline centred on an incredible romance that transcends time. Something must have gone wrong in production, as the telling of this tale is unforgivably banal. This movie is such a drag viewers will find themselves wishing for an ability to time travel beyond the credits to escape the tedium. With no on-screen chemistry it's hard to even care about the time traveller's wife's husband or his wife.
GenovaAnne Murphy
A man moves his two daughters to Italy after their mother dies in a car accident.
"Genova" is a considered and unsentimental movie of living through bereavement. The movie is constructed with a credible style that almost seems unscripted. The plot meanders through the moody Italian setting without unnecessary dramatic tension, moving from moment to moment the way a person coping with life after loss does. The character studies are intelligent, multi-layered portraits of grieving. It's deeply gratifying to see a difficult theme faithfully handled without unnecessary tragic overtones and no tissues required.
The BoxAnthony Macali
A small wooden box arrives on the doorstep of a married couple, who know that opening it will grant them a million dollars and kill someone they don't know.
Based on a short-story, this creepy film doesn't live up to its promising premise. A lot of weird stuff happens - blood noses, gateways, lightening and other unintentionally funny moments of suspense. The score is atmospheric, performances solid, but intriguing questions of morality are lost in the frustratingly ponderous revelations. The lesson here is to stay at home in your box, perhaps watch the box, and avoid the confusion that is "The Box".
An EducationAnne Murphy
A teenage girl's life in 1960s London changes with the arrival of a playboy nearly twice her age.
A particular time and place are depicted with a nostalgic tone in this beguiling movie. Although classic in many respects, "An Education" also bestows a refreshing angle on adolescent transformation. The suave script is brought to life by mesmerising performances from the cast. Social dilemmas of the era are deftly explored in front of scenic city backdrops and meticulously created interior detail as befits the period. A curriculum of seduction and sophistication provides an outstanding education.
Wake Up SidAmit Jain
A romantic comedy involving a lazy, rich, and unmotivated slacker called Sid and a career-oriented aspiring writer.
"Wake Up Sid" is a fresh new age romance set in the urban jungle of Mumbai. A well directed feel-good movie, it has a wonderful all-star cast with a beautifully subtle soundtrack (not the typical Bollywood dance numbers). A relaxed, cool film that accurately portrays modern Indian youth while exploring events that most of us would have lived through.
- Genre » Bollywood Comedy Drama
- Release » Limited 02 Oct 2009
- Festival » Indian Film Festival 2010
DeparturesAnne Murphy
A newly unemployed cellist takes a job preparing the dead for funerals.
If the subject matter were handled less reverently it could be disconcerting, and "Departures" is tender, loving, and absorbing. The symphonic soundtrack is moving, but it is the characters and their stories that will cause tears to gently spill. This film, centred on the rituals following death, is surprisingly life affirming. Reflecting Japanese sensibilities, it is contemplative and almost zen-like, avoiding melodrama while tackling some of life's most difficult passages. This departure is a welcome getaway from the everyday.
The Damned UnitedAndrew O'Dea
A look at Brian Clough's 44-day reign as the coach of Leeds United.
A compelling and often humorous biopic, this movie is a football fan's delight, and they will revel in the nostalgia and seamlessly intertwined archival footage. However, you don't necessarily have to enjoy football to enjoy this film. Essentially character-driven, most of the drama occurs off the pitch. Fantastic storytelling, rich and engaging dialogue, and a superb man-of-the-match performance from the lead actor manage to separate "The Damned United" from your typical sports flick. GOOOOOOALLL!!!
Julie & JuliaAnne Murphy
Julia Child's story of her start in the cooking profession is intertwined with blogger Julie Powell's 2002 challenge to cook all the recipes in Child's first book.
Two storylines are baked together, although about 50 years separate them, and the result is delicious. Scenes effortlessly transport the viewer in and out of the lives and kitchens of Julie and Julia, capturing a shared passion for cooking. The characters are wonderful, warm, and loving; their relationships golden roasted and close to perfect. This movie is appetizingly presented and readily devoured. As both Julie and Julia would have said... bon appetit!
Whip ItAnthony Macali
In Bodeen, Texas, an indie-rock loving misfit finds a way of dealing with her small-town misery after she discovers a roller derby league in nearby Austin.
"Whip It" is a movie about girls on skates, who find strength and delight in bumping one another on the circuit. It's unfortunate the story doesn't race as fast as our heroine Bliss, as she competes with a mother beaming with morals and a predictable plot. The familiar formula will best serve an audience of younger girls, who may gather some inspiration from this flick. Despite a team of superstar actresses, the moments of boredom outscore moments of fun.
MoonAnthony Macali
Astronaut Sam Bell has a quintessentially personal encounter toward the end of his three-year stint on the Moon, where he works alongside his computer, GERTY.
"Moon" is no pioneer, but is still a quietly quaint and enjoyable movie. Lacking the grandeur of most space odysseys, this film is all about Sam, and we become immersed in his isolation and apprehension. The atmosphere is boosted by an accomplished score, creating tension in tandem with the computer GERTY, whose indifferent disposition is as discomforting as his voice. It certainly won't rock science fiction, but will definately re-energise the genre.
Mao's Last DancerWendy Slevison
Based on the autobiography by Li Cunxin, who was plucked from a poor Chinese village by Madame Mao's cultural delegates and taken to Beijing to study ballet.
This movie tells an extraordinary tale of passion, sacrifice and political tug-of-war, centred in Communist China and the United States in the late 70's. With all the elements of a grand saga, this story of a modest and unassuming young man discovering his love and talent for ballet is both absorbing and incredibly moving. His fight for choice, at immense personal cost, is inspiring and unfortunately still very relevant in much of the world today.
Che: Part 2Andrew O'Dea
In 1967, 'Che' leads a small partisan army to fight an ill-fated revolutionary guerrilla war in Bolivia.
"Che: Part 2" is the culmination of a fascinating journey that marks Che's ultimate downfall. This film maintains the authenticity of "Part 1", albeit with a darker, more pensive tone. It evokes a sombre sense of impending doom whilst remaining as historically faithful as possible, refusing to glamorise its subject. This uncompromising approach is refreshing, and the lead actor's enigmatic performance is truly worthy of encompassing the man who is arguably the most iconic figure of the 20th century.
Che: Part 1Andrew O'Dea
In 1956, Ernesto 'Che' Guevara and a band of Castro-led Cuban exiles mobilize an army to topple the regime of dictator Fulgencio Batista.
This film is an austere portrayal of the mechanics of Che and his guerrilla war rather than an account of the man himself. His political and social ideals are interwoven - and impressively not championed - as we traverse the sumptuous Cuban landscape and share in his experience that was the armed struggle of the revolution. A stylish overture of sorts opens the film, and it sets the tone for the sprawling and vividly authentic epic that is to come.
Looking for EricAnne Murphy
Eric, a postman whose life is descending in to crisis, receives some life coaching from Eric Cantona.
For the most part, the tone of "Looking for Eric" has a steady down beat of realism as individuals within a loosely connected family tackle emotional issues including loss and depression. The cast extends beyond family to encompass important relationships with friends, heroes, and deadbeats. The plot is refreshingly unpredictable with a triumphant, if somewhat incongruent, conclusion tacked on. All is forgiven as the credits roll... the audience feels good and Eric may have found what he was looking for.
Giovanna's FatherAnne Murphy
A protective father stands by his misfit daughter after she commits a terrible crime.
Complex reactions to tragedy are explored in this story of obsession. With war as the backdrop, relationships are ravaged while Bologna is bombed. "Giovanna's Father" is not easy viewing and interest is held by the unconventional story-line. The soundtrack maintains a steady rhythm, and the use of sepia tones aids in recreating a past era of hardship. Superb performances by the lead actors are convincing and avoid being melodramatic, with the spotlight firmly on Giovanna's Father rather than the dastardly deeds of his daughter.
- Genre » Drama History War
- Festival » Italian Film Festival 2009
FameWendy Slevison
An updated version of the 1980 musical, centered on students of the NY Academy of Performing Arts.
The grit, heartbreak, passion and talent of the characters was the heart of the ground-breaking original movie. These elements are absent in this 'reinvention'. It is bland and soul-less, two things a film about performing arts should never be. Clearly aimed at the MTV audience, this is a sequence of performance numbers interrupted by inconsequential plot, rather than a character study in the lives of extraordinarily talented students desperate for success. More sparkler than flame, this "Fame" bungles its audition.
Van Diemen's LandAnthony Macali
The true story of Alexander Pearce, Australia's most notorious convict. In 1822, Pearce and seven fellow convicts escaped from Macquarie Harbour.
"Van Diemen's Land" plays like a horror/slasher film. The format is very simple: convicts sit by the fire hiding fears they're the next to be killed, and then proceed to walk through the forest (in the most captivating moments of the film), before one is inevitably bludgeoned to death for food. If we were able to associate more with the characters' hunger and desperation, it may have had a greater impact, but in the end it's just simple and barbaric.
Funny PeopleAndrew O'Dea
A seasoned comedian forms a friendship after learning of his terminal, inoperable health condition.
"Funny People" is an inventive albeit meandering comedy. Sometimes sophisticated and sometimes crass, it presents an intriguing blend of humour and sentiment. Terrific performances from the leads and supporting cast are bolstered by a host of obscure cameos, including one of the most hilariously 'honest' Australian characters to be shown in an American film. This movie is far from seamless, and seems to drag in parts, but still retains enough moments of genuine insight and laughter to entertain most.
PushAndrew O'Dea
Two young Americans with special abilities must race to find a girl in Hong Kong before a shadowy government organization called Division does.
"Push" is a forgettable addition to the 'superheroes' genre. The only superpower present here is the uncanny ability to teleport from one completely inane plot hole to another. The storyline is as boring as it is confusing, exacerbated by flimsy handheld camerawork and an unflattering visual style. Even the ostentatious action sequences end up looking like nothing more than sci-fi muddle. When push comes to shove, this film falls flat on its face.
The SoloistAndrew O'Dea
An L.A. journalist befriends a homeless Julliard-trained musician, while looking for a new article.
This movie is a sensitive but surprisingly unmoving portrait of a unique friendship. The performances from the two leads are solid, but are wasted on a story that isn't as meaningful as it should be. Although this true narrative admirably raises some important social issues, it also fails to adequately explore them. You can't help but feel what should be a powerful film instead seems prosaic and lacks any real substance, making "The Soloist" a sweet song that simply sings out of tune.

Forestry Technicians
Employment for forest and conservation technicians is expected to decline through 2022, according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, with job opportunities being the strongest at employers that manage state forests. Most job openings will result from technicians leaving the field or being promoted to other areas. However, competition will be strong; technicians with good preparation in forestry technology and machinery management will have an advantage over less prepared job applicants.
